At the Haas School of Business, I launched the OneHaas student podcast to promote inter-program connectivity of the Haas MBA family; between every matriculated class of the Full-time, Evening/Weekend, and Executive MBA programs. With over 1500 MBA students on campus every year, there is more to the network than meets the eye. My aim is to introduce students to people they never knew they had in their Haas network. OneHaas has evolved into a dedicate MBA alumni podcast in collaboration with the Department of Alumni Relations.[Reception: Top 3% of podcasts, 60+ countries]On Mobile Web - https://onehaas.org/On Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2KF8BGFOn iTunes - https://apple.co/2CYEt4y

After successfully launching one automotive lighting company (XenonSupply), we launched a sister company selling interior LED lighting packages for cars. We foresaw a growing demand for accessorizing your vehicle with the growing popularity of LEDs. We identified a gap between consumer needs (complete packages, not individual bulbs) and existing businesses that sold bulbs individually. We then proceeded to research and compile a database of over 300 vehicles to create complete packages with all the products and tools needed to convert all the lighting in your vehicle to LEDs.

CraveLab was a Collaborative/Coworking office space in Downtown LA, serving the budding local community of small businesses and small tech startups. I saw a growing need for such a community space in downtown LA before the co-working boom in LA. It was a great opportunity to be able to offer a 3500 sq. ft. space for the community to congregate and network. I designed the space to be conducive for collaboration by painting whiteboard walls on nearly every available wall space. You could not walk into the place without feeling like collaborating or sharing ideas with someone. We are currently in the process of finding and moving to a newer facility.• Negotiated $1/sq ft triple-net lease in downtown LA and structured lease contracts to allow for membership model over tenant sublease model to maximize profit margins (50%), reduce membership fees, and control membership quality• Self-taught interior design (reclaimed 1000+ ceiling tiles, incorporated lighting and whiteboard walls) and repurposed space (layout and furnishing) which attracted indie film makers and TV producers (TLC channel filmed “Totally T-Boz”)• Prospected, oversaw 50+ members including two media start-ups which expanded into entire space (LakersNation and Buzzsmith), and established legal and SaaS relationships such as Gunderson Dettmer, MaxCDN to support members• Community Leadership: Founded 600+ member Downtown LA Startups Meetup group, hosted weekly events that included topics such as Elevator Pitch, MVP Workshops, Brainstorming Sessions, streaming Lean Startup Conference and others.
